Hi All,

I've got a '65 split project and am looking for metal work in California and thought about it as a project. (I know, I know, it can get spendy real fast...)

Have a gander:

Kind of hard to tell how bad the metal is. I can see it was in a lot of moisture, but how deep does it go!

Why not get the car blasted and primed. Anyone doing the work will need a good starting point, for estimating and then working on it. Might save you some money to get it done before sending it out for metal work.

Do you have a blaster that you have used before?

A good source for full body blasting in San Jose is Mike Gains at South Bay Surface Restoration.
